5. Obtain three pieces of foam. Layer the foam
with the odd color in the middle. Make an Anticline and a Syncline. Draw what each one looks like. Color your diagrams and label the youngest rock layer and the oldest rock layer in each formation. Also use arrows to show the type of stress that you put on the foam to form each fold.
7. Obtain one ball of Play-Doh. Before applying
each type of stress below, start with the Play-Doh in a round ball. Then, draw what it looks like after the stress is applied. When you are done, place the ball of Play-Doh back in the back please. When Play-Doh is Compressed, it looks like:
Anticline

Syncline
[Convergent/Divergent/Transform] Boundaries.
When we apply Tension to our Play-Doh, it looks
like: 6. Have two of your group members stand up. Act out the boundaries below. Then draw a picture using stick figures to show how you moved at each type of boundary. Convergent Boundary
